No, the glass itself is made the same. First off the glass is made by a tank molding process , such as, soda ash, silica, sand and limestone, which are heated in a ceramic tank. The liquid glass w/coloring agents are then forced through pipes into an automated pressing mold.


Glass is created the same way for all colors. The addition of small trace amounts of minerals, usually metals, create the intense colors found in most glass. Red actually contains trace amounts of gold. Cobalt is used for blues and copper can give it green.
